The project aims at strengthening the employability and employment of the young people who are at risk of exclusion. This is done by building a model of a youth service platform which will successfully function as an interlinking unit with holistic coaching, non-formal education, labor markets, family and other youth services. The project strengthens the partners' leadership skills and implementation of internationalization strategies. The project activities respond to the needs of the target groups through a wide range of interventions. As the paths to employment become easier, entrepreneurship and orientation will be strengthened. The project:1) promotes service effective integration platforms that address the multi-disciplinary needs of the target group and are able to assist them at a low threshold. The platforms combine intensive coaching, mentoring, peer support and volunteering skills with young people. The activities also include community coaching, training in which the project can involve local community to catch the local target groups and families. The aim is to streamline employment pathways for young people in the target group.2) builds an electronic co-development platform that can work on developing local pilots, sharing knowledge between partners and building common understanding. The platform can also serve as a basis of training for staff and youth. It will also be a co-development platform for partner organizations and outsiders. The platform can be used for example to organize online training and co-development workshops to disseminate project results.During the project period, 150 young people from the target groups will participate in the project's thematic development processes and pilots. The project produces the following Intellectual Outputs: 1) Integrated multi-functional service platform - model, 2) Electronic Multilingual Learning Environment. For those working with youth from participating organizations, three Short-term Joint Staff Training events will be conducted with 18 employees. Transnational project meetings are leading the way in project development. Three be will be organized with the participation of 45 representatives of partner organizations and partner organizations supporting the project development processes in the participating countries. In addition, there will be six multiplier events involving 126 participants from outside the project.The project utilizes the following methods in working with youth and developing operating models. 1) intensive coaching model, based on appreciative interaction and encounter methods and strength- based coaching, aims at appreciative encounter and impact on employment paths of the youth. Coaching supports young people and their families. 2) mentoring models for young people will be developed in the project. Mentors can be, for example, youth work professionals, volunteers or corporate employees. 3) project development measures utilize Co-design and Service Design operating models. All development processes are inclusive and the young people of the target group are involved at all stages of the planning process. The implementation utilizes the partnerships of the partner organizations' business cooperation.As a result of the project, a functional service integration service has been built in the structures of the project partners. Cooperation between the NGOs and the public sector has been intensified. The service package has resulted in a better targeted support for young people a shift in risk-prevention activities and a reintegration of young people into follow-up structures through social rehabilitation. In cooperation with actors and the network, practices and models for identifying and meeting the service needs of young people in the target group have been developed and adherence to youth services has been strengthened. Based on the needs the project has built a youth-oriented service culture as part of its practical activities. Project staff and collaborative networks have developed, together with the target group's young people, policies that have promoted smooth employment paths.The results of the project can be utilized in regional development in areas similar to those of the partners. Findings and results can be disseminated through regional networks and media. Partners will use their decision-making contacts to bring forward findings and results at EU level. In addition, the results of the project are widely communicated through online channels and social media, and expert publications on the thematic areas of the project are carried out.

<< Objectives >>DIRA project wants to achieve inclusive societies in which Roma adults enjoy equal rights and access to services and knowledge. Directly over 160 Roma adults (and many more indirectly) benefit from increased knowledge and skills in using digital tools and eServices. We offer open access to the developed DIRA learning platform and material supporting adult education. The project will impact policies on the Roma, adult education and eServices at local, regional, national and international levels.<< Implementation >>DIRA project implements activities, which strengthen Roma adults' digital skills and use of eServices. These include developing the DIRA learning platform and training material, training of trainers and training the Roma on using the learning platform and eServices, and increasing Romas adults' language skills. A baseline study is carried out to better understand the needs and skills of Roma adults. Networking, information dissemination and policy recommendations are also part of the project.<< Results >>Project results consist of the developed DIRA learning platform, training material and trainings supporting Roma adults' capacity to use digital tools for eServices and in education. It is expected that the project positively impacts transfer of knowledge within the Roma and encourages them to participate in adult education also in future. DIRA project influences policies and practical work of diverse stakeholders.It also increases knowledge and skills of the participating partner organizations.

There is no space in our society for homeless people (HL people), no matter if the traveller takes the road in search of freedom or runs away from difficult situations; The streets sometimes mean giving up materialism in search of adventure, but in many cases it is a journey that involves invisibility, negative perceptions, exploitation, criminalization, addictions and loneliness, all of this affects the reality of HL people, who quickly forget their previous lives and become just homeless. As human beings we have an innate need to connect with other people, connections give meaning to our lives; we want to be present for the people we love and for the things we love to do. HL people are blamed and criminalized, as an incentive for them to stop being homeless, however, we are only putting barriers to their re-connection. They may reach their lowest point when they lose hope, and are no longer able to bear to be present, then see themselves immersed in destructive paths.In Spain it is estimated that there are more than 30,000 HL people, of which about 30% have mental illness and 11% schizophrenia. This situation confirms that far from integrating vulnerable people, society expels them. ATL project proposes a genuine way to solve the so far intractable problem of homelessness: Investing in their experience and equipping them to be able to reconnect other HL people. ATL will improve HL people’s situations through the specific creation of tailor-made training opportunities and also, stable employment. ATL will train them in something that no one is more suitable than HL people themselves: Supporting third sector organizations to decrease the number of HL people by adopting the role of Journey Certified Supporters (JCS). JCS will support other HL people from the inside, in an unconditional, non-judgmental, respecting and valuing way to build and help building happy, fulfilling and connected lives. ATL Training Model objectives: (1) Provide professionals working with homeless people (PwHL) with global and comprehensive training solutions to address target groups' individual situations.(2) Jointly design an innovative training model and methodology, integrated in other services, which provides HL people with real self-actualizing opportunities and also practical and sustainable job solutions. The goal: to re-enter society and support others to take the necessary steps towards it.(3) Sustain happy and connecting lives among HL people by providing them with a sense of identity and purpose as Journey Certified Supporters (JCS) and by re-connecting them with their communities.(4) Reduce the number of HL people and the likelihood that someone will experience homelessness in the future.(5) Employ a number of JCS and promote others on the labour market to establish a dynamic and sustainable employment system.A team of experts specialized in working with HL people (AP, P2, P3, P4, P5), in Peer support (AP, P2) and in Restorative Justice (P1) will jointly create an innovative tailor-made training program based on individual case management, covering knowledge, skills, practice and values of supporting others, with elements of Restorative Justice, to restore family ties and reconnect them with friends and fellows as a protecting factor. In contrast to traditional approaches, ATL Training Model is a methodology that seeks to create value for others not only offering HL people something but training them to contribute within their communities by using their own experience effectively in helping others. These are ATL Training Model main activities: (1) To design and test a training programme fully transferable which includes a teaching/training curriculum and supporting materials, addressed to professionals and needed to certify HL people as JCS. (2) To create an Online Training Service, where PwHL will find all the information needed to replicate ATL Training Model, including: JCS Online programme, JCS Vocational Qualification, readers’ digest systems and ATL Serious Board Game.(3) Organise an awareness-raising campaign to not only promote a change in third sector organizations' model to address the situation of HL people, but as equally important, to deeper the understanding of homelessness locally and change people’s perceptions, promote reporting, dispel stigma and target the causes that fuel intolerance or invisibility of our target groups.ATL will, in this way, provide an innovative training model, not being applied in any place yet, which takes advantage of HL people's previous knowledge and skills, to allow them to pass from being excluded to take an active role helping others.ATL Training Model goes beyond and supports 'Housing First' movements by helping HL people to also accommodate what they have lived on the streets and offer them real opportunities for training, employment and reconnection.
